Corundas (Michoacán triangular tamales)
Michoacán, Mexico — Pátzcuaro and Lake Pátzcuaro region; Purépecha indigenous tradition
Corundas are Michoacán's iconic triangular tamales — made from plain masa enriched with tequesquite (natural sodium carbonate) or ash water, wrapped in fresh corn plant stalks (not corn husks) and steamed. The triangular shape comes from the folding technique with the stalk leaves. Corundas are served plain with crema, salsa, and queso fresco — the masa itself is the point, not a filling. They are a street food, breakfast item, and festival staple in Pátzcuaro.
